Help Children in Need

Child sponsorship through Compassion is an effective way to help children in need.

Child sponsorship is an excellent way to help children because you will be giving a child hope for the future and for all eternity. As a sponsor, you will also be able to correspond with your child and develop a close relationship. Your child will be deeply encouraged by your love and care. The children are very thankful, and many pray for their sponsors daily. Also, many sponsors eventually meet their children in their native countries!

You would have a hard time finding opportunities to help children more effectively than child sponsorship through Compassion. Your child sponsorship helps by providing the child with:

healthy food and clean water as needed

education and life-skills training

health care, medicine and immunizations

the opportunity to learn about Jesus and experience God's love firsthand

A relationship with you, the sponsor, that can be nurtured through letter-writing and prayers.

When you help children in this way, they will always feel special because you cared enough to give.

At a cost of only $38 a month, it is surprisingly affordable to help children. Even better, you can live out your Christian faith by sponsoring a child right now.

The child sponsorship process is simple and easy. Some say it is an opportunity to be a missionary without leaving home. Remember, you're literally changing a child's life today — and possibly for eternity. Please click on a photo now to help children who desperately need your support.

Help children escape the cycle of poverty

You can help a child by providing hope for a better future. Sponsor a child today.

When you help children who are living in the poorest parts of the world, you're putting hope in their hearts, providing for their physical and educational needs, and much more. You may even open the door for Jesus to enter their lives. That's because Compassion International is a Christ-centered ministry dedicated to help children become responsible, fulfilled Christian adults.

Your tax-deductible contribution of just $38 a month connects a child living in poverty with a loving, church-based Child Sponsorship Program.

Your support provides:

Medical checkups, which often save lives

Nutritious food

Health and hygiene training

Educational assistance

Access to special services like surgeries and disaster relief

Mentoring to help children discover their incredible value as God’s children

Most important of all, your sponsored child will hear about Jesus Christ and be encouraged to develop a lifelong relationship with God.

When you sponsor a child, you'll receive your child's photo, personal story and a child sponsorship packet by mail in approximately 10 days.

When children find out they've been sponsored, the joy they feel is indescribable. Just knowing that someone across the globe cares means more than you can imagine. Sponsoring a child in need will profoundly change the future for your child, and will change your own life as well.
